New Again

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Jennifer

Today is release day for the newest kit by Amy’s Designs. New Again is a soft Easter kit to help you preserve all your wonderful Easter memories.

Memories by Digital Design collaborated with Amy and made some lovely wordart to go with the kit. Both the kit and the wordart are on sale for 50% off this weekend.

I made two facing layouts. They’re from our Easter celebrations last year. I tried to make it look like Jessica was reaching out of the frame to give you an egg. Do you think I succeeded?

Journaling reads: Since the closing on selling our house would be on Tuesday, our Easter celebrations were pretty low-key. We didn’t even make it to church as we still had so much packing left to do to be moved out by the next day. We tried to make it special for Jessica by having a little egg hunt in our backyard. It took her a little bit to understand what she was supposed to do, but once she figured it out, she was off and running to find all the eggs.

Have a blessed Easter weekend!

Prehistoric Pals

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Jennifer

I meant to post this yesterday, but alas we didn’t get home from our weekend road trip until 7:30 and after putting the girls to bed we just vegged in front of the TV. Anyhoo,  I have two layouts to share with you today.

First up is a layout about Jessica’s Tiny the Pteranodon action figure. At the time of Janette’s birth, she was really into Dinosaur Train, now it’s Franklin. She likes to tell me she wants to watch “my Franklin.” Journaling reads: “The weekend before Janette was born, we took Jessica shopping at Target so she could pick out a gift to give to her new sibling at the hospital whenever the baby decided to arrive. She didn’t completely understand, but we helped her choose a monkey toy that plays music and has a teething ring. The day after Janette was born, the girls exchanged gifts when Nanny brought Jessica to the hospital to see Mommy and baby. Janette gave Jessica a talking Tiny action figure. Jessica was quite excited about Tiny, which is quite evident by her tight grasp of Tiny in these pictures. ” I used a technique to make the main photo have a glowing effect. I also blurred the busy hospital background. If you want to see the original photo, click here.

Second is a layout from our spring break road trip. Journaling reads: “Tuesday morning, we headed to Let’s Jump, an inflatable play place pretty close to the Witgen’s house. All of the kiddos had a blast. Even Janette had fun bouncing on the edge of one of the slides. The slides definitely were the favorite inflatables. Jessica wouldn’t even set foot in the bounce house with Trevor and Cameron. We were there during the under 5 playtime and they all showed patience when some of the smaller kids were slow in climbing the stairs to the top of the slide, which made us moms proud.”

Cousins

Posted on March 24, 2012 by Jennifer

The first part of spring break, I took the girls to visit my sister and her family (James stayed home to continue his job search). Here’s a layout I made the first full day we were there. I made it Tuesday for a Speed Scrap and excitedly it was chosen as a Gallery Stand Out. Journaling reads: Both Trevor and Cameron were enamored with their baby cousin. Jessica wanted to make sure they knew Janette was her baby sister. And yes, Jessica didn’t want to wear clothes, about par for the course.

Beautiful Life

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Jennifer

Today is release day for the newest kit by Amy’s Designs. Beautiful Life is a vintage, slightly worn, very spring kit with gorgeous colors. As usual, Amy has it on sale the first week.

I made two layouts to showcase the awesomeness of this kit. First up is a layout of my MOPS Mom’s Night Out. I’m loving MOPS. It is such a comforting place to be and it is so inspiring to be surrounded by awesome moms. Journaling reads: Our MOPS group coordinates a Mom’s Night Out the first Thursday of the month. This month we painted pottery at Cafe Monet. It was great to be artistic, relax and chat. Clockwise from top left: Summer, Dorothy, Jennifer M., Lindsee, Suzie, Jenny, and Jennifer K. (behind Jenny).

Second is a layout of my beautiful Jessica. I have a hard time putting a single photo on a layout, so the speed scrap that I made this for was challenging, but I like how it turned out. Plus this was the only picture that I took of Jessica that day that I liked. I felt the red of her wagon was distracting, so I made the photo black and white and then selectively put the color back on Jessica.

Got Luck?

Posted on March 20, 2012 by Jennifer

Karen Diamond Designs has a fabulous new kit available. Got Luck? is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day layouts, but with earthy shades of green, blue and brown, it is versatile enough to scrap many other everyday photos! What’s even more awesome is you can get this kit for free right now until the end of the month just by spending $10 at Scraps-N-Pieces. And since Karen has her store on sale this month to celebrate her 3rd anniversary as a designer, now would be an excellent time to stock up on Karen Diamond Designs digi-products.

Today, I’m sharing two layouts using this kit, both of which have nothing to do with St. Patrick’s Day. First up is a layout I made it for a speed scrap. One of the requirements was a title that was a question. This caused me to spend too much time finding the right photos making it a not so speedy speed scrap for me. I do like how it turned out. Journaling reads: “After Trevor and Jessica had woken up and had their diapers changed, Sarah and I placed them both in Jessica’s crib. Jessica wasn’t sure what to think about having someone else in her bed, as evidenced by Jessica grabbing Trevor’s ear. Although it was probably just what she touched first.”

Second is a layout for the Canadian Rockies album I’m creating for my parents documenting their 30th anniversary celebration trip. My Dad is a pretty good photographer, huh? I love that reflection in the lake.
